The missing character transfer ability is really fail.

I dont like the resolve mechanic because its too slow. It fills not fast enuff and the immunity isnt sufficient with that lousy 8 seconds.

Just a few seconds. No matter on what side of the medal one is ..

While i second that with a smile, im not all for putting guadians and juggs in one boat.

If i dont use my cc breaker, i may lose 60-100%HP while there is no 100% resolve filled If i use it, there is a chance i get CC'd again imidietly. When i need immunity, my cc breaker isnt ready. On the bottom line, resolve fills too slow and cc breaker has no improvements in the skilltree. What means CC breaker ? ... it doesnt only brakes my devotion, it also makes room for shields and heals and whistles. We only break CCs in combat - logical ^^ so we are in a situation of a virtual life threat, a death threat. CC breaker is a emergency tool, to gain back control. If its not filled already in such a high alert threat - that you need to blast the chains on you - then its pretty worthless if you can be CC'd again right after the freeze. At the moment, i only care if others are immune ...

SWTOR is not the right game for twinking. Would there be a "no XP" option, you could maybe start ~a little~ twinky blinky, but after playing the mastergame of twinking (AO) i dont see mutch potential here for twinking - wich is sad ofcause, but the levels fly far too fast by and the items are level bound instead of stats bound, and there is lack of statsbuffers anyways, all these little sneaks and tweaks for the reamining stats to get the item in. In the conclusion, twinking in SWTOR is stopid, it works more like "the best for this" and "the best for that".

I havnt seen a server queue since launch. Go fr00bs, storm the front !

Try to switch off sound at all. I'd use winecfg on a first try. When there is a performance incrase, you know its the sound thingy. What hardware do you have ? I can be wrong, but out of experience ... the game isnt really playable with a dualcore processor. I had one myself before, while i can say so only about AMD processors. So if you got a dualcore under Linux, playing swtor with wine, it could really be bad, so that there may be not enuff ressources left for sound. Now, on my octocore, wine scales over 4 cores and i have ~50 fps. Nevertheless, the game performs ofcause mutch better on Windows *sight*

For Antialias in wine, you gotta select multisampling. You can use winetricks for it.

When i login and start/launch the game, it goes black for about 2 minutes ! or 3 Is your HDD active in that time ? Mine is hard at work that time, the initial loading of the game and first "on planet" needs ~5 minutes here and i has a big smile pc ^^ Logout and relogin went faster then. Maybe you gotta wait somewhat more, when it goes black ?

Yeah Sir, the problem is, there is no other solution yet, then a precompiled wine. Nobody can expect from a one week Linux user, to raid the sources. The "right" solution arrives, when the wine coders fixed the user_shared_data thingy in wine itself. Then it will run out of the box ^^ This may need some weeks more. I am not using Suse, im on Fedora. Why doesnt it run from source in suse ? I mean, Suse is certified at all ^^

Because of the mising skills, i wrote some basics. It was not meant, to offend anyone or to question other people's solutions. You gotto agree, when you read "you have to install all vcrun..." well, there is not mutch knowledge behind and the whole thing is confusing enuff anyways, no need to spread additional half-knowledge, even if everyone apriciates the effort, to offer a way to make it work. Quoting myself, in case it was overseen ... We are haircutting, let end it now.

I am sorry but when it doesnt work for you, then ill take it as a distribution related problem. "Official" solutions are based on standard Linux conventions, means it works on every Linux, distribution independend. Using a patched version of wine is the common way to go and it is not rediculous to suggest the right things. I never said, using a PlayOnLinux method is wrong. Read again.

As a subscriber, i am a disapointed by the amount of CC i recived. It has been i think 1450 CC i got and when i look at the prices in the shop, then i feel what i am worth for the companies, those customer i am.

There is a lot things not exacly clear, so let clear em up. 1. Wine cannot be used out of the box to run SWTOR. You have to compile wine out of the sources and before you need to patch the sources with the user_shared_data patch. All needed information and the patch for the sources can be found here: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=26284 2. 32/64 bit If yo use a 32bit Linux, you are fine as is, you can compile a recommended 32bit wine executable. For 64bit systems you want the 32bit #includes, look here http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit to get a 32bit wine executable. 3. Additional requirements winetricks is your friend. Install it either from your software centers or get it from its page here: http://winetricks.org/winetricks Save it to /usr/local/bin or whatever exec-path you have. When you made it executable, just call it from bash. SWTOR will need vcrun2008 and the native d3dx9 overrides. As a personal suggestion, please only stick to the "official" solutions, in this case from the wine headquarter site. Dont use things like PlayOnLinux or Crossover, simple because if you dont know, what you did before, you for sure lose entire control with such tools. When you know, what you do, then you know, you cannot use them due to the missing wine-patch for SWTOR. Ofcause you can use something like a "wine-swtor" but it is not recommended because in best case it is "compatible", but far from "good" or "optimal". Finally, it works. It works good enuff for PvE actually, even if it is somewhat clunky sometimes. Working with a WinXP_SP3 prefix should give wine the ability, to scale your gfx-memory somewhat better. My own tests show no difference, but who am i anyways .. There is still a problem remaining, using a single POI type from the map, the one that shows the circles when you have to kill a number of mobs. The game grashes then but i expect a solution coming up in the time to come by. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32092 enjoy ^^ edit: The wine performance suggestions by alexzk before here, take place, when it works. You need to make it work "conventionally" before you improve it. Its a huge performance boost ^^

Korrigiert mich, aber sind die genannten mindest CPU nicht beide 4-Kerne Prozessoren ? SWTOR lief bei mir totall bescheiden, mit AMD Dualcore bei 2,6ghz, langsamen Speicher und ne 9800GT die dann noch voll HD ausmalen sollte. Jetzt hab ich viel besser in mei **** und das Spiel läufft auch besser, allerdings läufft es schlecht im Vergleich mit anderen Spielen. Ich bin zu dem Schluss gekommen, das die Hero-Cloud es einfach nicht besser kann. Es ist ein Intel-Prozzi game ...

Empty promises have lead to some no-care-stasis. I really think, i dont care ^^

2hrs drinking ... hmm, maybe some more beer and the servers come back ?

made me lol ... really ^^

I like the random roll on the WZs and i hope they 1. add more zones asap and 2. dont let us choose a zone because that would desert it entierly. What would be cool are some selectable NEW cross server playfields for PvP leagues. Also a Fusang (TSW) alike playfield would be cool here.

hahaha ,,, uMAD, brah ^^

Oh yeah, Noone's aware Coast is months ago, time for another playfield.

cheers ^^

My suggestion would be, start as soon as you can, with lvl 10. Prepare to die a lot and try to find overview, the PvP in SWTOR is at least that good, that i came back from a 10 weeks brake and have fun again. I saw the GW2 videos and while the playfields and gfx is pretty cool, the lousy couple of buttons to press, was a no-go. Same why i do not favorise the TSW combat system, simple not enuff room for decisions, no keybindings for tools and so on .. SWTOR PvP must be learned. Sure you can troll arround the warzones, but im learning a single class since ~ a year (cb) and im still not done on it, so learning your skills and abilities is very fun in PvP here. Find others for the PvP, Mumble is your friend, it has a better voice quality then TS or Vent. Oh well yeah, for me, the PvP here is very fun ^^

it runs fine on linux you have to patch the wine source to make it happen and you have to use a virtual desktop for the launcher. have a look at http://www.winehq.org for futher information. it does not run out of the box but everything needed is available.
